NASADiscovery Waits (3/11/2009)

Lights around Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida bathe space shuttle Discovery after rollback of the rotating service structure. The rotating structure provides protected access to the shuttle for changeout and servicing of payloads at the pad. The rollback is in preparation for Discovery's liftoff on the STS-119 mission with a crew of seven. The mission is the 28th to the International Space Station and the 125th space shuttle flight. Discovery will deliver the final pair of power-generating solar array wings and the S6 truss segment. Installation of S6 will signal the station's readiness to house a six-member crew for conducting increased science. Image credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett March 11, 209
